Adult

About the programme
The projects supported by the Nordplus Adult programme contribute to development and innovation within the Nordic and Baltic adult learning sector. All fields of adult education and learning are encompassed; general and vocational adult learning, formal, non-formal and informal adult education and learning.
Who can apply?
All types of institutions and organisations working with adult education and learning can participate in Nordplus Adult. The participating organisations and institutions should be able to contribute with experience and knowledge from adult learning and be interested in learning from other organisations and institutions in the field – to the benefit of adult learning and adult learners.
The target group of the programme is institutions and organisations offering learning to adults and institutions involved in adult teacher education, guidance counsellor education, education for adults with special needs and institutions working with research, studies and analyses in adult learning.
What is important is to keep learning, to enjoy challenge, and to tolerate ambiguity. In the end there are no certain answers.
